� Drug-drug interaction with other anti-acid drugs

� Since PPIs require stimulation of gastric acid secretion, they are

more effective when administered one hour before breakfast.

Conclusion

� Different conversion rates of proton pump inhibitors in the body

is mostly due to the protonation of benzimidazole ring.

� Inappropriate levels of Gastric acid can be inhibited by proton

pump inhibitors.

�There might be chances of using current FDA approved drugs for

other possible treatments rather than those usages they currently

have.

� PPIs are potentially potent anti-cancer agents (treatment or

pretreatment of cancer cells) which their anti-cancer activity

definitely needs further work.
